Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 More Involved

Human studies do now show that

The big fin reef male squid does be

Paternal in his habitat,

Staying after mating, and he

Would scare off rivals coming by.

Not something thought that a male did

Who seemed a mate then take off guy,

Not caring he was a Dad squid.

Some scientists now theorize

That more than merely sex machines,

Male squids are really caring guys

And are invested in their genes.

More studies surely will be had

On the male squid as doting Dad.
